A classic American sandwich based on seasoned hamburger meat cooked in a sauce. Traditionally served with potato wedges or fries and dill pickles, but for a lighter version serve simply with a crisp salad.

Ingredients

450g lean beef mince

1 small onion, finely chopped

150ml barbecue sauce

1tbsp soy sauce

2tsp caster sugar

½tsp ground ginger

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

4 burger buns, halved

This is a versatile recipe so you can change the filling to any minced meat, and add your own spices to taste.

Method

Put the beef mince and onion in a large frying pan and stir fry over a high heat for 5 mins until to brown.

Add the soy sauce, sugar and ginger and simmer together for a further 5 mins until cooked through. Remove from the heat, and season to taste. Cover and keep warm.

Preheat the grill to a hot setting, arrange the buns, cut side up, on the grill rack and grill for a few seconds to lightly toast.

To serve, put the bun bases on warm serving plates and spoon over the mince mixture. Top with the other half and serve immediately.
